Then what happened to the Mavs?Lebron was shut down by JJ Barea and got his pushed in by JET in the finals

The skunker
To be fair , JET and Barrea would be stars in the 80s 90s
Starks was 6’5”
Mitch Richmond
Sean Elliott would guard jordan time to time
Rolando Blackman
Anfernee hardaway nick anderson combo
Dan marjele was like 6’6”
Stark was still smaller and was a grocery bagger
Blackman was nowhere near the athletiicism of Jordan
Penny didn’t guard Jordan often, and when Jordan guarded him he would demolish him
Richmond did give Jordan fits but he was in the Weat and his teams didn’t have long seasons or were not good enough
dribble....dribbleCan you imagine the Kang being guarded by Jeff Hornacek and John Stockton in the Finals?
Clank a 3
Wilkins
Dumars
Reggie
Steve Smith
Glen Rice
Maxwell
Harper (pre injury)
Petrovic
Reggie Lewis
- not the same position so not a direct matchup
- Smaller and not athletic
- Skinny and one dimensional, lol Klay Thompson is better
- Slow and not athletic enough
- Small Forward so not a direct matchup
- talented but toooo streaky
- too injured
- killed by Stern
- Small forward so not a direct matchup
Agreed
He would totally do that
Because he would be bored to death after dropping an easy 70 points on the Utah State A&M Community College Astrology Club
Lebron too mentally weak. Preoccupied with dancing and tacos
Kobe, you might have a point there
-50 points
lol at the notion of Lebron being mentally weak... I guess Jordan never cleired to the officials when the Pistons were skull ung him
Oh wait he did :lo
It’s not like
Paul George gets annihilated by the same accountants you guys a clowning.
Klay Thompson is the definition of an average defender being overrated due to the team he’s associated with.
Avery Bradley and Patrick Beverly are about the size of an average spurstalker, but with muscles instead of fat.
Lebron James is on cruise mode most of the year.
Rodman, one of the greatest defenders, would guard Jordan regularly, along with Dumars.
Tbh I think every era has its pros and cons.It’s not like

They are just different , at the end of the day I think it just comes down to personal preference (or what one grew up watching)
Jordan was great tbh but the constant veneration and all the narratives (undisputed goat, herp derp, beat x player, mj would never etc )is annoying, and I think people hate him because of that but it’s not his fault
As Rodman said during the 80s : “Jordan this, Jordan that... I don’t hate the guy, I’m just tired of hearing about him”
Jordan riders are so easy to rile up on social media tbh
That Barry Mc iner doing the Lord’s work
I’ll say that in the old days, more dudes brought a lunch pail to work. Sure they weren’t as athletic as guys with today’s training, but the league as a whole was tougher, more grit.Tbh I think every era has its pros and cons.

Nowadays, guys just make too much money to bring it hard every night. They’re too concerned about the brands, even the scrubs have brands.
I beat my compe ion. LeBron joined his.Jordan got outscored by Danny Pastor Ainge and fouled out in an elimination game
3-6 in the finals ain’t exactly mentally strong. I guess no one remembers Paul George and Roy Hibbert stuffing LeBron’s dookie hole. Bosh had to come back hurt and save that series.lol at the notion of Lebron being mentally weak... I guess Jordan never cleired to the officials when the Pistons were skull ung him
Oh wait he did :lo
That “thoughness” was just compensating for lack of defensive skills tbhI’ll say that in the old days, more dudes brought a lunch pail to work. Sure they weren’t as athletic as guys with today’s training, but the league as a whole was tougher, more grit.

As for players and their brands , it’s not new tbh , yesterda’s players valued that as well but it was newer back then, so today’s playets being more involved in their brands than older generations is just a natural progression tbh
That involvement in brands is a reason why they are fundamentally weaker. Another puppet master. Which is especially puzzling considering the stars make greater player salaries today

Jordan is still is the undisputed GOAT. There's no question about that. However, old-timers would get riled up one when player, like James, gets mentioned as a potential GOAT contender. The gap between Jordan and James is closer than many people think. If the Bulls came back to try to win 4 straight in 99, they won't come out of the East or if they did, the Spurs would sweep them.

Jordan dominated subs ute teachers, CPAs, and plumbers. 90s defenses were not complex either. Sequence:
Jordan takes someone off the dribble and dunks.
Crowd: ooooooh!
Bad Boyz get mad. Next time Jordan tries that, Rodman clotheslined him or suplexes him.
Phil Jackson complains thru the media.
Results: Bad Boys no longer can rough up His Airness without impunity. Players can't even look at Mike without it being a tech.
Mike goes on to win 6 rings.
/The End
What Jordan got away with is equivalent to modern day white privilegePERIOD
This I do agree. Jordan was great but he’s so overrated. People make is sound like he never lost a game in his life and scores 35 points every game. He got beat by the pistons. He struggled against the sonics in the finals (rodman or Pippen should have won the FMVP).Tbh I think every era has its pros and cons.

He didn’t win 6 rings by himself. Pippen was a beast, his team got away with all kinds of stuff, the east was weak and Krause the Hutt was great building a very particular type of team to magnify Jordan’s strength so that the bulls can win.
